Breaking: Texas Gives Massive Warning Of Consumer Behavior - Eurodollar University

[TexasTowelie]

Texas Just Sent a Warning Shot to the Rest of the U.S. Economy

Consumer spending in Texas has collapsed, and the data from the Dallas Fed is worse than anyone expected. Retail sales activity fell off a cliff in May, hitting levels not seen since April 2020. Inventories are piling up, work hours are being slashed, and employers are cutting back.

Is this just a Texas problem… or is it the first sign of a nationwide consumer retrenchment?

In this video, we break down the shocking data, why it matters, and how it could ripple across the entire U.S. economy in the months ahead.

If the U.S. consumer breaks, it’s game over.

1. Trump Administration working overtime

To blame this on anybody not Republican. The knee jerk of members of the party of responsibility.

[OrlandoDem2]

2. Been saying for 5 months that consumers need to close their wallets!

[mdbl]

7. I've been saying it for two years

When inflation really started to skyrocket.

[JMCKUSICK]

12. Me too, it's an effective form of protest

Especially protesting Maga lovers

[Magoo48]

3. Buy nothing but absolute essentials, avoid all big box big name outlets.

Farmer’s markets and small shops are our friends.

[paleotn]

14. And put a shit ton of Americans our of work. Gee thanks.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

15. It's so much harder than I'd like.

For me "Retail therapy" is a remedy for depression. The monster in the Oval and his cult are the reason.

[ananda]

4. I'm not surprised.

What my sister has been describing in Dallas
fits this scenariol.

[multigraincracker]

5. That damn free market.

Money is speech.

[AllaN01Bear]

6. feet walk. feet vote w pocket book.

[Crowman2009]

8. Must have ran out money after spending on overpriced guns.

Cuz the government is going to take them.

[Puppyjive]

9. RV Industry

Kind of tanking. Sales are way down. One of the first signs of a recession. This is what happens when the CEO's endorse Trump. It has hugely backfired on them. RV's are not a must have item.

[live love laugh]

10. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving governor.

[IronLionZion]

11. I'm spending less and saving more

I'm sure many are worried about the MAGA economy with tariff whiplash, mass deportations, DOGE destroying our government, and daily stupidity from this administration.

errr....I mean... DEI did this. derp derp derp

[wolfie001]

13. I stopped right after the orange-colored imbecile was sworn in

Only essentials and to help family members. Nothing else. Retired so my car's gas is about $16 per month. Maryland too.

16. Vote Republican!

What have you got to lose?
